Martin E. Franklin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer commented; “We are delighted that we were able to deliver a record fourth quarter to round out an exceptional year for Jarden in 2006. The hard work involved with our integration and reorganization efforts, coupled with new product introductions, was well rewarded with significant improvements in operating margins in the second half of the year. Our businesses are well positioned to continue this momentum into 2007. Our shares also performed well during 2006, beating the S&P for the sixth consecutive year driven by organic growth at the high end of our expected range, expanding gross margins and continuing investment in our new products and brands.”

Mr. Franklin continued; “Over the course of the past week we successfully completed our expanded offering of $550 million of 7.5% 10 year senior subordinated notes and expect to close today on an additional $100 million of 7.5% 10 year senior subordinated notes. These issuances not only lay the platform for the long term future growth of our business, but we believe that it also represents a strong vote of confidence by investors in our business model of aggressively and thoughtfully investing in the growth of our brands and opportunistic acquisitions, while maintaining a fiscally conservative position to our debt and coverage ratios. The consistency of approach we have demonstrated over the last six years is continuing to pay off. In the last three months we have raised new capital from both the debt and equity markets and enter 2007 with a commitment to deliver another year of strong performance. I would like to thank all of Jarden’s management and employees for their contribution to Jarden’s strong performance in 2006 and look forward to continuing our strategy of building a world class consumer products company together in 2007.”

The Company will be holding a conference call at 9:45 a.m. (EDT) today, February 14, 2007, to further discuss its results and respond to questions. The call will be accessible via a webcast through the Company’s website at www.jarden.com and will be archived online until February 28, 2007.
